One setback on one feature can delay shipping by months!
This naivette about how hard it is to get things done on time is just astonishing.
This callous disregard for human life makes me ashamed.

No, Robert, we have not. That is to say, *I* have not, and IMHO the average joe has not. We don't know what it takes. I don't know how many people would automatically associate the typhoon with a delay in Astak's supply. My husband is in China, in typhoon territory, and I have ordered a Pocket Pro, and even though those two things are important to me, I didn't associate them right away. I work in a customer service field, and get blamed for things that are not my fault all the time. I get flak from people about things being slow when they are actually on a reasonable time frame. I know the desire to scream at clients, "You're not the only person in the world, you know!" I know the cries of "vaporware" can be frustrating, but the best and most dignified thing you can do is let the results speak for themselves, and the naysayers can choke on their own vapors!
